LP recording in Vienna
The "Supersense" in Vienna's Prater Street is an extraordinary location. The former Café in Venice style is now a Café/Bistro with 1000 small delicacies and a concept store in the back part with exhibits around Polaroid photography, a manual printing shop and analogue audio studio technique. In this unique ambience Barbara Dennerlein played a solo concert on her Hammond B3 on June 16 in front of a small exclusive audience for a direct recording on LP record and analogue audio tape.
Only 50 concert tickets were available. The visitors could see the preparations for the album cover production because the cover is handmade in the print shop. A few prints have been signed by Barbara before the concert. And she also took her time to pose for a gallery photo in front of a huge Polaroid camera that takes pictures in 20x24 - inches, of course. Barbara with new LP
The Hammond B3, stylishly bed on a big orient carpet, was barely visible behind the big analogue mixer. This time the visitors could not watch Barbara's legs playing the bass pedals. But this did not dampen neither the good mood of the audience nor Barbara's joy of play. Unusual were also the breaks every 15 minutes when the acetate master blanks had to be changed. Barbara meanwhile announced the next three pieces and waited for a sign from the technician to continue.
Presently the recordings are being checked and selected for the release on the sound carriers. LP, tape and MC will be produced in a limited number of copies. We will inform you about the release.
A photo gallery from the event has been released by Robert Lettner:
